durabilty of a turbo 3s-fe

The motor in my camry is on it's way out. I'm planning on swapping in a late model 3s-fe. I want to turbo it before i take out my current motor. My question is how durable and relayable is a turbo 3s-fe? I'm going to be driving an hour or more to class each morning and I need somthimg relayable to get me there. BTW i have an 87' with a 3s-fe w/ an automatic

not very, unless you do internal work and make sure you have a DEPENDABLE boost controller so you don't get spikes

long story short, unles you know what you're doing.....

but since you have a gen2, you could think about swapping in a 3sgte
